Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for any
visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged
appliance.
Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is not
supplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to the
mains supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable (see “Installation – Electrical
connection”).
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only

Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven
gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the oven
compartment, shelf runners, accessories, food or steam.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it, and
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
Risk of injury caused by hot food.
Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or
removing it. The food can cause burns.
When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them,
make sure that the hot food does not spill.
Risk of injury due to hot water.
At the end of a cooking programme, hot water left in the steam
generator is pumped back into the water container. Take care not to
tip the water container when taking it out of the appliance.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing
damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.
Plastic dishes which are not heat-resistant and steam-resistant
melt at high temperatures and can damage the appliance.
Use only heat-resistant (to 100°C) and steam-resistant plastic
dishes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam oven.
Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use any
cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
The door can support a maximum load of 8kg. Do not sit on or
lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.
Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and
the oven compartment. The steam oven could get damaged.
When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,
near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the
appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock
hazard.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a
short circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning.
Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking.

accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
12
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of the functions
Noises
You will hear a pumping sound when
the appliance is switched on, during
use and after switching it off. This is the
sound of water being pumped through
the system and is quite normal.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.
Heating-up phase
During the heating-up phase the oven
compartment is heated to the set
temperature. The display shows the
temperature in the oven compartment
as it rises.
The duration of the heating-up phase
will depend on the quantity and
temperature of the food. In general, the
heating-up phase will take approx.
7minutes. The duration will be longer if
you are cooking refrigerated or frozen
food and if you are cooking at low
temperatures.
Steam reduction
If a cooking temperature above approx.
80°C has been set, the appliance door
will automatically open a fraction just
before the end of a cooking programme
to release some of the steam from the
cabinet. The door will then close again
automatically.
Steam reduction can be switched off if
you wish (see “Settings”). If switched
off, there will be a lot of steam emitted
from the cabinet when the door is
opened.
Cooking phase
The cooking phase begins when the set

Before using for the first time
Setting the water hardness
level
To ensure that the steam oven works
correctly and to ensure that descaling is
carried out at the correct interval, it
must be set to the local water hardness
level.
The harder the water is, the more
frequently the steam oven needs to be
descaled.
The hardness level is set to 2.7mmol/l
(15°dH) at the factory.
Contact your local water supplier to
find out your local water hardness
range if necessary.
Adjust the setting of your local water
supply if necessary (see “Settings”).
Setting the correct boiling
point for water
Before cooking food for the first time,
you must adjust the boiling temperature
of the water, which varies depending on
the altitude of where the steam oven is
located. This procedure also flushes out
the waterways.
This procedure must be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
Distilled or carbonated water or other
liquids could damage the steam
oven.
Only use cold, fresh tap water
(below 20°C).
Remove the water container and fill it
up to the maximum marker.
Push the water container into the
appliance.
Run the steam oven for 15minutes
using the steam cooking function
(100°C). Proceed as described in
“Operation”.
Setting the correct boiling point for
water following a house move
If you move house, the boiling point for
the water in the steam oven will need to
be reset for the new altitude if this
differs from the old one by 300m or
more. To do this, descale the appliance
(see “Cleaning and care – Descaling the
steam oven”).

General notes
This section contains general
information. You will find more detailed
information about particular foods and
how to cook them in the other sections.
The advantages of cooking
with steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are
retained as the food is not immersed in
water.
Cooking with steam also retains the
true taste of the food better than
conventional cooking. We therefore
recommend seasoning the food after it
has been cooked. Food also retains its
fresh, original colour.
Suitable containers
Cooking containers
This steam oven is supplied with
stainless steel cooking containers.
Other containers, in a variety of sizes,
both perforated and solid, are available
as optional extras (see “Optional
accessories”). This enables you to
choose the most suitable container for
the food you are preparing.
Where possible, it is best to use
perforated cooking containers for steam
cooking. The steam can reach the food
from all sides and the food is cooked
evenly.
Your own containers
You can also use your own containers.
However, please note the following:
– Containers must be heat-resistant to
100°C and able to withstand steam.
With plastic containers, please check
with the manufacturer that they are
suitable for use in a steam oven.
– Thick-sided containers made from
porcelain, ceramic, or stoneware are
not very suitable for using with
steam. Due to their thick sides, they
do not conduct heat well and as a
result cooking durations will be
considerably longer than those given
in the charts.
– Place the cooking container on the
rack or in a suitable container, and
not on the oven floor.
– Ensure that there is a gap between
the upper rim of the container and
the top of the cooking compartment
to allow sufficient steam into the
container.
Condensate tray
Place the condensate tray on shelf level
1 when using perforated containers.
This collects any drops of liquid and
allows these to be removed easily.
You can also use the condensate tray
as a cooking container if necessary.
30
General notes
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can
also cook on several levels at the same
time. This will not alter the cooking
duration.
When using more than one deep
container at the same time for steam
cooking, it is best to offset them on
their runners and to leave at least one
level free in between them.
Always insert cooking containers and
the rack between the rails of the shelf
runners so that they cannot tip.
Frozen
The heating-up phase for frozen food is
longer than for fresh food. The greater
the quantity of frozen food, the longer
the heating-up phase.
Temperature
During steam cooking, the temperature
does not exceed 100°C. Almost all
foods can be cooked at this
temperature. Some types of food, such
as berries, need to be cooked at lower
temperatures to prevent them from
bursting. See the relevant sections in
these operating instructions for more
details.
Duration
During steam cooking, the cooking
duration does not begin until the set
temperature is reached.
In general, the cooking durations for
cooking with steam are the same as for
cooking food in a saucepan. More
information about any factors which
may affect the cooking duration is given
in the relevant sections.
The quantity of food does not affect the
cooking duration. 1kg of potatoes will
take the same time to cook as 500g of
potatoes.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid, only fill the
cooking container ²/₃ full to prevent the
liquid spilling when the cooking
container is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes
Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan
can also be cooked in the steam oven.
The cooking durations in the steam
oven will be the same. Please note that
food will not be brown or crisp when
cooking with steam.
31
Steam cooking
Eco Steam cooking
To save energy when cooking with
steam, you can use Eco Steam
cooking. Eco Steam cooking is
particularly suitable for cooking
vegetables and fish. Eco Steam
cooking is less suitable for cooking
foods containing starch, such as
potatoes, rice and pasta.
We recommend using the cooking
durations and temperatures given in the
chart under “Steam cooking”.
You can cook for longer if necessary.

notes.
Selecting the cooking duration
The cooking durations given are
guidelines only.
We recommend selecting the shorter
duration initially. You can cook for
longer if necessary.
32
Steam cooking
Vegetables
Fresh
Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual
way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.
Frozen food
Frozen vegetables do not need to be
defrosted beforehand. Exception: the
vegetables have been frozen together in
a block.
Frozen and fresh vegetables which take
the same length of time to cook can be
cooked together.
If vegetables have frozen together in
clumps, break these up before cooking
with steam. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging regarding
cooking duration.
Cooking containers
Food such as peas or asparagus
spears, which have little or no space
between them, will take longer to cook
because the steam has less space to
work in. For an even result, it is best to
use a shallow container for these types
of food, and only fill it about 3 - 5cm
deep. When cooking large quantities,
divide the food between 2 or 3 shallow
containers rather than using one deep
one.
Shelf level
When cooking vegetables with a
distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a
perforated container at the same time
as cooking other foods in other
containers, place the solid tray directly
underneath the perforated container to
catch any drips and therefore avoid any
colour transfer.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the
size of the food and how well cooked
you want it, just as it does with
conventional cooking methods.
Example:
Firm potatoes, cut into quarters:
approx. 12minutes
Firm potatoes, cut in half:
approx. 17minutes
Settings
Steam cooking
Temperature: 100°C
Duration: see chart
Different types of vegetables which take
the same length of time to cook can be
cooked together in one cooking
container.
Use solid containers for vegetables
which are cooked in liquid, e.g.
cabbage.
Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.
clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen
Fish does not need to be fully defrosted
before cooking. Defrost so that the
surface is sufficiently thawed to take
herbs and seasoning. Depending on the
thickness of the fish, 2–5 minutes
should be enough.
Preparation
Add some lemon or lime juice to fish
before cooking. The citric acid helps the
flesh stay firm.
It is not necessary to season fish when
cooking with steam as this method
retains the minerals which give the fish
its unique flavour.
Cooking containers
If using a perforated container, grease it
first or line it with baking paper.
Shelf level
When cooking fish in a perforated
container at the same time as cooking
other types of food in other containers,
place the container with the fish directly
above the glass or collecting tray
(depending on the model) to catch any
liquid and so avoid any transfer of
flavours to other food.
Temperature
85°C – 90°C
For gently cooking delicate types of
fish, such as flounder.
100°C
For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.
salmon.
Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the
thickness and the texture of the fish,
and not on the weight. The thicker the
fish, the longer the cooking duration. A
3cm thick piece of fish weighing 500g
will take longer to cook than a 2 cm
thick piece of fish weighing 500g.
The longer fish cooks, the firmer its
flesh will become. Use the cooking
durations given in the chart. If you find
that the fish is not cooked sufficiently,
only cook it for a few minutes more.
When cooking fish in sauce or stock,
we recommend that you increase the
cooking duration quoted by a few
minutes.
36
Useful tips
– Adding herbs and spices, such as
dill, will help bring out the full flavour
of the fish.
– Cook large fish in the swimming
position. To help maintain the
structure of the fish, place a small
cup or similar upside down in the
cooking container. Arrange the fish
bellyside down over the cup.
– You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish
heads, bones, tails etc. to make a
fish stock. Place the fish scraps
together with some mixed vegetables
in a solid cooking container and add
cold water. Cook at 100°C for 60 to
90minutes. The longer the cooking
duration, the stronger the stock.
– Preparing fish au bleu is a method
involving cooking the fish in water
with vinegar, at different proportions
depending on the recipe. It is
important not to damage the skin of
the fish. This method is suitable for
cooking trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Steam cooking
Meat
Fresh
Prepare the meat in the usual way.
Frozen food
Meat should be thoroughly defrosted
before cooking in the steam oven (see
“Special applications” – “Defrost”).
Preparation
Meat which needs to be seared before
being cooked, e.g. stewing steak,
should be seared in a pan on the
cooktop.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the
thickness and the texture of the meat,
and not on the weight. The thicker the
piece of meat, the longer the cooking
duration. A piece of meat weighing 500
g which is 10 cm thick will take longer
to cook than a piece of meat weighing
500 g which is 5 cm thick.
Useful tips
– To retain the flavourings, use a
perforated cooking container. Place
an unperforated cooking container
underneath in order to collect the
concentrate. You can use the
concentrate to enhance your sauces
or freeze it for later use.
– Boiling chicken, back or top rib and
meat bones can be used to make
stock. Place the meat together with
the bones and some mixed
vegetables in a cooking container
and add cold water. The longer the
cooking duration, the stronger the
stock.

Steam cooking
Menu cooking
Before cooking meals with the
manual Menu cooking function,
switch off steam reduction (see
“Settings – Steam reduction”).
Menu cooking involves cooking various
foods with different cooking times in
order to serve them all together in one
meal, e.g. rosefish fillet with rice and
broccoli.
Foods are placed in the steam oven at
different times so that they are all ready
at the same time.
Shelf level
Place foods that produce a lot of liquids
(e.g. fish) or have a distinctive colour
(e.g. beetroot) directly above the glass
tray or condensate tray (depending on
the model). This avoids any transfer of
flavour or colour to other food by
preventing liquid dripping onto food
below it.
Temperature
Whole meals should be cooked at a
temperature of 100°C as this is the
temperature required to cook the
majority of foods.
Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest
temperature when different
temperatures are required for different
types of food, e.g. 85°C for seabream
and 100°C for potatoes.
Duration
If you increase the recommended
temperature, shorten the cooking
duration by approx. ¹/₃.
Example:
Food cooking durations
(see cooking charts in “Steam cooking”)
Parboiled rice24 minutes
Rosefish fillet6 minutes
Broccoli4 minutes
Calculation of set cooking durations:
24minutes minus
6minutes=18minutes (1stcooking
duration: rice)
6minutes minus 4minutes=2minutes
(2ndcooking duration: rosefish fillet)
If the recommended cooking
temperature for the food is 85°C for
example, try cooking it at 100°C and
testing the result. Some delicate types
of fish with a soft structure, e.g.
flounder will become very firm when
cooked at 100°C.

52
Other applications
Reheat
The steam oven is very effective at
reheating food gently, without drying it
out or cooking it further. The food
reheats evenly and does not need to be
stirred during the reheating process.
You can reheat individual dishes or
plated meals which have been prepared
previously (e.g. meat, vegetables and
potatoes).
Suitable containers
Small quantities can be reheated on a
plate, larger quantities should be placed
in a cooking container.
Duration
The number of plates or containers has
no bearing on the time.
The times listed in the table relate to an
average portion per plate. Increase the
duration for larger quantities.
Useful tips
– Do not reheat large items, such as a
joint of roast meat, whole. Divide it
into portions and reheat these as
plated meals.
– Compact items, such as stuffed
capsicum, roulades or dumplings,
should be cut in half.
– Reheat sauces separately. Exceptions
are dishes such as goulash, which is
cooked in sauce.
– Cover food when reheating it. This
will avoid steam condensing on the
crockery.
– Please note that breaded items, such
as schnitzel, will not retain their
crispness when they are reheated.
Heating food
Cover the food being warmed up with
a plate or foil that is resistant to
temperatures up to 100°C and to
steam.
Place the food on the rack or in a
cooking container.
Settings
Steam cooking
Temperature: 100°C
Duration: see chart

Other applications
The durations specified in the chart are guidelines only. We recommend selecting
the shorter duration initially. You can make the duration longer if necessary.
* These times apply to food heated on a plate and covered with a plate.
55
Other applications
Defrost
It is much quicker to defrost items in the
steam oven than at room temperature.
Risk of infection from bacteria.
Bacteria such as salmonella can
cause life-threatening food
poisoning.
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
fish and meat, and in particular when
defrosting poultry.
Do not use the liquid produced
during defrosting.
Process the food as required as soon
as it has been defrosted.
Temperature
60°C is the best temperature for
defrosting.
Exceptions: 50°C for minced meat and
game.
Before and after defrosting
Remove any packaging before
defrosting.
Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and
cakes in their packaging as otherwise
they will absorb moisture and become
soft.
Allow food to stand at room
temperature for a few minutes after
defrosting. The standing time is
necessary to allow the even distribution
of heat from the outside to the inside.
Cooking containers
Use a perforated container with a glass
tray or condensate tray (depending on
model) underneath it when defrosting
food which will drip, such as poultry.
This way food will not be lying in
defrosted liquid.
Foods which do not drip can be
defrosted in a solid cooking container.
Useful tips
– Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning.
Depending on the thickness of the
fish, 2–5 minutes is generally enough.
– When defrosting food which has
frozen together, e.g. berries and meat
portions, separate them half-way
through the defrosting time.
– Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
– Defrost frozen ready meals according
to the instructions on the packaging.

Other applications
Blanch
Blanch fruit and vegetables before
freezing them. Blanching helps maintain
the quality of the produce when it is
frozen.
Blanching vegetables also helps them
retain their original colour.
Put the prepared vegetables
(cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into
a perforated cooking container and
place in the steam oven.
Once blanched, plunge the
vegetables into ice cold water to cool
them down quickly. Drain them well.
Only use unblemished, fresh produce
which is in good condition.
Glass jars
Use clean glass jars and accessories
and check them for any defects. Glass
jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a
rubber seal are suitable.
Make sure that all the glass jars are the
same size so that bottling is carried out
evenly.
After you have filled the jars with the
bottled produce, clean the glass rims
with a clean cloth and hot water and
then seal the jars.
Fruit
Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but
thoroughly and allow it to drain. Take
great care when cleaning soft fruit as it
is very delicate and squashes easily.
Remove any peel, stalks, cores or
stones. Cut up large fruit. For example,
cut apples into slices.
If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g.
plums, apricots) without removing the
stones, pierce the fruit several times
with a fork or wooden skewer as
otherwise it will burst.
59
Other applications
Vegetables
Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.
Vegetables should be blanched before
bottling to help them retain their colour
(see “Special applications –
Blanching”).
Fill volume
Fill the glass jars with produce up to no
more than 3cm below the rim. Do not
pack it down as this will damage the
cell walls of the produce. Tap the jar
gently onto a cloth to help distribute the
contents evenly. Fill the jars with liquid.
The produce must be completely
covered.
Use a sugar solution for fruit and a salt
or vinegar solution for vegetables.
Meat and sausages
Briefly fry or cook the meat before
bottling. Use the juices with some
added water, or the broth in which the
meat was cooked, as the liquid content
of the jars. Make sure there is no grease
on the rim of the jars.
When bottling sausages, only fill the
jars to halfway as the meat will rise
during the bottling process.
Useful tips
– Make use of residual heat by leaving
the jars in the oven for 30minutes
after it has switched off.
– Then cover the jars with a cloth and
allow to cool for approx. 24hours.
Bottling food
Place the rack on shelf level1.

Other applications
Disinfect items
The steam oven will disinfect baby
bottles and other containers so that at
the end of the programme they are as
germ free as they would have been if
boiled. Check beforehand that all parts,
teats etc. are declared by the
manufacturer to be heat resistant to
100°C and also that they can withstand
hot steam.
Dismantle, clean and thoroughly rinse
baby bottles. Reassemble the bottles
only after they have completely dried.
This prevents recontamination.
Place the individual items on the rack
or in a perforated container (on their
sides or with the opening facing
downwards) ensuring that they do not
touch one another. This will allow hot
steam to reach them from all sides.
them in a bowl of cold water for
5minutes. The gelatine leaves have
to be fully covered with water.
Remove the gelatine leaves from the
bowl and squeeze them out. Empty
the bowl. Place the squeezed gelatine
leaves back in the bowl.
Gelatine powder: Place the gelatine
powder in a bowl and add water
according to the instructions on the
packaging.
Steam cooking
Temperature: 60°C
Duration: 90minutes (irrespective of the
size of jar or the amount of honey in the
jar)
Melt chocolate
You can use the steam oven for melting
any type of chocolate.
When using a cake glaze, place it in a
perforated cooking container, leaving it
in its packaging.
Break the chocolate into small
pieces.
Place large quantities in a solid
container and small quantities in a
cup or a bowl.
Cover the container or the dish with a
lid or with foil that is resistant to
temperatures up to 100°C and to hot
steam.
To prepare yoghurt, you will need milk
and live culture or yoghurt starter
powder, e.g. from a health food store.
Use natural yogurt with live culture and
without additives. Do not use heattreated yogurt.
The yoghurt must be fresh (short
storage time).
You can use either unchilled long-life
milk or fresh milk.
Long-life milk can be used as it is – no
further preparation is required. Fresh
milk must first be heated to 90°C (do
not boil it) and then cooled down to
35°C. Fresh milk will give a better set
than long-life milk.
The yoghurt and milk should have the
same percentage fat.
Do not move or shake the jars while the
yoghurt is fermenting.
Immediately after preparation, leave the
yoghurt to cool in the fridge.
The firmness, fat content and cultures
used in the yoghurt starter all affect the
consistency of homemade yoghurt. Not
all yoghurts are equally suitable as
yoghurt starters.
Useful tip: If you are using yoghurt
starter powder, you can prepare the
yoghurt from a mixture of milk and
cream. For that, mix ³/₄ litre milk with ¹/₄
litre cream.
Mix 100 g yoghurt with 1litre of milk
or make up the mixture with yoghurt
enzyme, following the instructions on
the packaging.
Pour the mixture into glass jars and
seal the jars.
Place the sealed jars in a perforated
cooking container or on the rack. The
jars must not touch each other.
Straight after the cooking duration
has finished, place the jars in the
refrigerator. Take care not to shake
the jars unnecessarily.
Yoghurt is not set:
Incorrect storage of the yoghurt starter,
too much time out of the refrigerator,
packaging was damaged, milk was
insufficiently heated.
Liquid has not been removed:
Jars were moved, the yoghurt cooled
down too slowly.
Yoghurt is grainy:
The milk was heated too high, it was
not free of imperfections, the milk and
yoghurt starter were not stirred evenly.

Other applications
Render fat
The bacon will not become brown.
Place the bacon (diced or rashers) in
a solid cooking container.
Cover the container with foil that is
temperature-resistant up to 100°C
and resistant to steam.
This appliance is ideal for extracting
juice from soft, firm and hard fruit.
It is best to use overripe fruit, as the
riper the fruit, the greater the quantity of
juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also
produce a more intense flavour.
Preparation
Sort and rinse the fruit, and cut out any
blemishes.
Remove the stalks from grapes and
morello cherries as these are bitter.
Berries do not need to have their stalks
removed.
Dice larger fruit such as apples into
approximately 2cm cubes. The harder
the fruit, the smaller the pieces should
be.
Useful tips
– Try experimenting with mild and tart
flavours. For example, mix apples
with elderberries.
Extracting juice from fruit
Put the prepared fruit (cleaned,
washed, chopped etc.) into a
perforated cooking container.
Place a solid container or a glass tray
or condensate tray (depending on the
model) underneath to catch the juice.
quantity of juice produced and
improve the flavour. Sprinkle the fruit
with sugar and leave to absorb for a
few hours before juicing. For 1kg of
sweet fruit add 50–100g of sugar,
and for 1kg of tart fruit add 100–
150g of sugar.
– If you wish to bottle the juice rather
than consume it straight away, pour it
whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles
up to the rim, and then seal
immediately with sterilised rubber
tops.

Descaling the steam oven
We recommend using Miele descaling
tablets (see “Optional accessories”) to
descale the appliance. These have
been specially developed for use with
Miele appliances to optimise the
descaling process. Other descaling
agents, which contain other acids
besides citric acid and/or other
undesirable substances, such as
chlorides, could cause damage to the
product. Moreover, the descaling
result required could not be
guaranteed if the descaling solution
was not of the appropriate
concentration.
Do not spill descaling agent onto
metal surfaces. This can cause
marks to appear.
However, should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, wipe
it away immediately.
The steam oven has to be descaled
after a certain number of operating
hours. When it needs descaling, the
symbol and a number will appear
when the steam oven is switched on.
The number indicates the number of
times that the steam oven can be used
before it has to be descaled:
The steam oven will lock after the last
remaining cooking process.
We recommend that you descale the
appliance before it locks out.
72
Cleaning and care

container a second time and filled it
with fresh tap water, a buzzer will sound
a few minutes later. The descaling
process is complete.
Switch the steam oven off.
Remove the water container and
remove the spill guard.
Empty and dry the water container.
Let the oven cavity cool down.
Then dry the oven compartment.
Leave the appliance door open until
the oven interior is completely dry.
During the descaling process, the water
